Flexible irrigation control at your fingertips
Orchards and vineyards are typically divided into irrigation blocks or zones based on crop type, variety, soil, topography, planting age and system design. Each zone may need to run at a different time or for a different duration.
With Water to Grow, you can turn each irrigation zone on or off remotely, or include it in a scheduled or rolling programme. All set-up, control and monitoring is done through the app.
The solution supports permanent drip, under-tree micro-sprinkler and other valve-controlled irrigation systems.
Designed around the way the property operates
Irrigation programmes can be organised around the property’s actual blocks, varieties and operating constraints rather than forcing every area into the same schedule.
Use zone control to:
- Set different operating times and durations for individual blocks
- Sequence zones around available flow and system capacity
- Pause a block for field work, maintenance or changing conditions
- Manually start or stop a supported zone when plans change
- Expand control into additional blocks as requirements develop
Coordinate supply with downstream irrigation
With Water to Grow, upstream master valves can open and close in coordination with linked zone programmes, using configured timing allowances to support stable operation before and after downstream irrigation events.
Relevant isolation valves can also be remotely controlled within the wider network, supporting supply management, maintenance and fault-location workflows.
Flow and pressure monitoring can also be added to provide additional visibility of how water is moving through the system.
Schedule irrigation across multiple blocks
Create programmes with defined days, start times and operating durations, or use rolling programmes to cycle irrigation zones over longer periods. Zones can be sequenced around available supply and the normal irrigation plan for the property.
When conditions or work plans change, authorised users can remotely start, stop, pause or resume supported programmes and controlled zones without travelling to each valve.
Bring field information into the same view
Water to Grow brings irrigation activity together with complementary field information, including:
- Zone and programme operating status
- Controller connectivity and battery condition
- Device and operational alerts
- Flow and pressure information
- Rainfall and soil-moisture data
- Tank levels and relevant pump activity
This shared view helps irrigation managers confirm scheduled activity, identify exceptions sooner, and focus field checks where they are actually needed.
Wireless control without field cabling
Long-range LoRaWAN connectivity links distributed controllers and monitoring devices through a shared gateway. This removes the need for trenching, control cabling, mains power or an individual cellular connection at each field valve.
Schedules are stored and applied by field controllers, allowing configured irrigation programmes to continue through temporary network interruptions. The system can begin with selected priority blocks and expand across the property over time.
Built around your growing operation
Whether you are adding remote control to an existing system, extending irrigation into additional blocks or planning a new development, our team can work with your irrigation designer, installer or distributor to identify an appropriate configuration and starting point.
